5.0 out of 5 stars Just what you need to get a deeper insight into Japan, 22 Nov 2004
By A Customer
Having lived in Japan this is just the sort of book I wish I had had when I was there. Not so much a guide book as a way to know how people live in Japan and how to make the most of a longer (probably working) stay in that country, but worth getting even for arm chair readers with a general interest in other countries.
Bramble's real insight is mixed and lots of useful understandings of the way life works in Japan all related with a gently humorous style that's easy to read and pleasantly personal.

The tips on page 80 about getting 'key money' back from a Japanese landlord are alone worth the cost of the book - that would have saved me some £300 had I known when I lived there!

Generally recommended though it's surprisingly hard to find in bookshops.
